On the heels of the US laying murder and conspiracy charges against Omar Ahmed Khadr for his role in a 2003 firefight in Afghanistan, civil suits are being filed against the Khadr family;
Meantime, in an unprecedented civil lawsuit filed in Utah federal court, Morris and Speer’s widow, Tabitha Speer, are suing the estate of Khadr’s father, who may have been killed in a firefight in Pakistan, for training his son to be a terrorist. Their attorney, Donald Winder, applauded Monday’s charges and said the civil suit shows “we can fight terrorism on many fronts.”
[…]
Morris, a 19th Special Forces soldier, said the shrapnel that blinded his right eye in the Afghanistan battle came from a grenade tossed by the younger Khadr. When soldiers rushed the compound, wounding the boy and killing all other insurgents, Khadr purportedly threw another grenade that killed Sgt. Speer. Khadr was arrested immediately after the July 27, 2003, battle. The Canadian government has protested Khadr being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, because of the boy’s young age.
���
Morris said he decided to file a lawsuit after watching on television the boy’s sister saying that the death of a U.S. soldier was “no big deal.”
���
Last week, U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell granted a default judgment against the elder Khadr’s estate. Morris and Speer’s widow will now seek to recover assets frozen by the United States, Canada and the United Nations. Attorney Winder said the Utah lawsuit is the first filed by a U.S. soldier against an enemy combatant. He said that al-Qaida operatives are criminals – subject to civil suits – because they are not part a country or political body recognized by any world organization.
Someone ought to point out that they might consider naming former Canadian PM Jean Chretien as a co-respondent.
“co-Respondent.” I think you mean “defendant”.
Chretien is a terrorist stooge.
Nice legacy!
What a puutz!
US Prosecutors brought Alan Eagleson to justice, now the Khadrs….perhaps they can turn the US justice system loose on the Canadian Liberal Party — in lieu of a functioning democracy and pantywaist judiciary (Gomery Commission) up here, that is.

TORONTO (CP) – The mother of a Canadian teenager charged with murder and held at Guantanamo Bay accused Americans of acting like gods Tuesday and slammed Ottawa for doing nothing to help her son >>>
via nealenews
remember . . Chretien PERSONALLY INTERVENED in their case – he spoke with the President of Pakistan and got EA to re-issue the “lost” (sold to forgers” passports
Funny how the Islamofascist terrorist is all tough and noble when chucking granades at the Great Satan. Funnier yet is how quick they (or their families) are to proclaim “human rights” when in custody of the infidels! Sorry, Khadr Klan, you can’t have it both ways. Perhaps he can get discount rates from one of Chretien’s lawyers.
This is an outrage. I’d like to volunteer to personally drive the Khadr matriarch to Washington where she can demand the release of her boy
Lawsuit?…not good enough! Deportation proceedings…much better solution …and as Paulie Librano is so fond of saying, “it sends the right message”.
Terry, I think that in a civil case, the correct term is “respondent”. Anyone know for sure?

Kate,
You are correct. I know this because my ex-wife’s correspondence with me now always refer to me as “The Respondent”
Values at heart of Islamic tensions
Canadian Muslims are divided over sharia, funding from overseas, and religion’s role in a secular society
…Located off a highway in Mississauga, the mosque is an impressive building, with a traditional minaret, a travel agency specializing in trips to Mecca for the hajj, a bookstore and a brand-new high school…
This is the Canadian headquarters for the Islamic Society of North America — an umbrella group of Muslim and Islamic organizations that, according to its mission statement, focuses on building an Islamic way of life in North America…
ISNA is also one of a few facilities in Canada that is funded by the Islamic Development Bank, which is based in Saudi Arabia…
In 2002, the Saudi Ministry of Culture and Information announced that King Fahd gave $5-million (U.S.) and an annual grant of $1.5-million to the Islamic Centre in Toronto. (The Islamic Centre of Canada is also housed at ISNA.) …
…Mohamed Elmasry, president of the Canadian Islamic Congress, calls sharia critics un-Islamic. In a recent open letter, he likened opposing sharia to “smearing Islam, ridiculing the Koran, badmouthing Mohammad . . .”…

Saudi Arabia funds all sorts of Wahhabi-based missions and projects all over the world, including Canada. Even prison chaplaincy programs throughout the Western world (egads!)This along with all the anti-Semitic, anti-Western shite therein
The Saudi bastards are responsible for most of the Islamofascism being exported around the world.
It might’ve been better to bomb Riyadh and drive the disgusting Fahd regime out than invade Iraq, if the aim was to staunch the plague of (Kor)animalistic behaviour being displayed by muslims around the world.
Sincerely,
The Evil One
Finally justice for this POS family.
not in Canada( Read Khanadar) but in the US of A.
Jeans lawyers will be busy enough defending his swindling days.
If the Khadr family, (and their ‘refugee’ legal expenses) were an isolated case, it would be bad enough. But factor in One of Somali warlord Aidid’s wives and family, AND his top military advisor, Agdulgadir Warsame, ( who alone deposited two wives, thirteen children, and six brothers and sisters here- before going straight back to Somalia………would leave any rational citizen at a loss for words!)
The world is going mad! maybe the bird flu is just what we need to get things corrected.The death of 50% of the worlds population will take care of most of this stupidity!
Kate and Rob R,
As one who has been practicing law for 30 years let me explain the terminology, which I believe is universal in Canada’s nine common law provinces and most states in the U.S.
A person who sues for damages is called the Plaintiff. The person being sued is referred to as the Defendant.
The terms Applicant and Respondent are generally reserved for family law matters and applications for declarations, injunctions and mandatory orders.
Backing up what Terry said, most states in the US use the plaintiff/defendant system with respondent being used for family issues. Respondent is also used in appeals.
If Canadians are wounded or die because of Liberal immigration policy, then Liberals should be held accountable for their actions by law and charged in both criminal and civil legal action. That would make the bastards think twice about who they are letting into this country.
Well, this ought to be interesting. We’ll have evidence that Canadians would never have access to. Better, CNN will be torn to report this outrage being perpetrated by Canadian born terrorists, and their anti-Bush war on terrorism. Gawd, what a quandry. The Mother Corpse is very worried about young Khadr’s rights, which means they aren’t particularly concerned that he allegedly killed a US soldier. Does anybody know why these folks can’t be stripped of their citizenship as other war criminals are, that is, when the government can bestir itself to pretend to be outraged at Nazi war criminals?

France’s tough projects were once desirable places for poor families
SAINT DENIS, France (AP) – The dreary housing projects at the heart of rioting across France are rotting, the walls smeared with graffiti, weeds sprouting through cracks, windows protected by rusty metal bars. >>> via cnews
sounds awesome, punks deserve it. I use to be in the 19th SF, but didn’t know the SGT.
Canada had soldiers in Afghanistan while the Khadr Koranimal fought for the poor, disenfranchised, downtrodden, with no voice… or to get laid by 70 virgins ,….whatever.
POS boy was in fact fighting against Canada.
Which begs the question,… how long will it take for the liberal crime family’s announcement he’s our next governer general.
What Jihad Jimmy really needs is to marry an Icabod Crane ghoul with balding stringy mad scientist hair that spouts anti American marxist socialist shit every time you pull the string that sticks out of spindly bony back, and he’s a lock!
Socialism is for suckers!!!
Too bad muslims don’t drink alcohol, then we could simply put them on indian reserves with our docile non working class welfare recipients.
I think the fact that the Feds keep the water undrinkable on reserves is so that they have to drink beer, wine and wiskey with their pemican or whale blubbler or whatever food they get up there in the tundra.
This country is a joke .. run by jokers for suckers.
We need a lot of change around here.
But don’t worry the muzzies are working on it for us.
It’s time the Americans gave Guantanimo inmates a little R&R in the form of swimming fun off the Cuban coast.
Endurance swimming is fun. Racing the sharks is fun. Accidents can happen, but that’s true no matter what people do to have fun. TG

On a serious note… well, more rational anyway… Debka is reporting the deployment of a new slogan by the rioters,
(http://www.debkanews.com/article.php?aid=1107 )
“disturbing new slogans were hurled, depicting Paris as �Baghdad-on-the Seine� and their campaign as the start of Europe�s Ramadan Intifada.
A single slogan made a mockery of president Jacques Chirac�s efforts of the last three years to distance France from President George W. Bush�s Iraq war.” >>> more Belmont Club

Omar Khadr, “child” killer
Alleged U.S. medic murderer portrayed as “teen” and “child” by Toronto Star
By Judi McLeod
With murder and attempted murder charges laid against him by the U.S. military, 19-year-old Omar Khadr was presented on the front page of the Toronto Star as a “Toronto teen” and a “child” yesterday….
…Following Khadr�s capture, his sister said the death of Sgt. Speer was no “big deal”….
http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/cover110905.htm
Khadr’s defense goes something like this:
1. “I was 15 and they had big guns and I was scared.”
2. “It’s not a domestic crime because there was no law.”
3. “It’s not a war crime because they were attacking me in my home.”
4. “Even if the attack on me was legal and they were the good guys how is a 15 yr old brainwashed by his Dad in the middle of nowhere supposed to know that?”
I’ll pay the one way ticket for Mama to visit the son. and buy the orange coveralls so she’ll fit in.
Are there any lawyers in all of Canada that have any shame at all?
is it an upgrade from ambulance chasers to federal government chaser?
Living in Toronto, so close to this ((cough)) ‘Canadian’ family I have to ask myself…if they are canadian, what am I? can I get refugee status and move somewhere, anywhere that could care less if Omar gets the death penalty or not? What a crock. send the whole lot back to afghanistan on a military transport. They won’t need passports to get there and they won’t be able to come back. How about we make it an election issue.
